Laughter as a Medicine.

An instance is related of two in .dividuals who were lying in one room very sick, one with brain fever and the other with an aggra vatcd ease of munps They were SO low that watchers were needed every night, and it was thought doubtful if the one sick with fever could recover. A gentleman was engaged 10 watch over night. his duty bcin. 10 wake the nurse whenever it became necessary to administer medicine. ln the course nf the night both watchmau and nurse fr iaslerp. The man with the munps lay watching the clock, and saw il Was time 10 give the fever patient his potion. He was unable to speak aloud or to move any portion of his body except his arms, but seizing Il pillow he man aged to strike the watcher in the face with it, who, thus suddenly awakened, sprang from his seat, falling to the floor and awakened both the nurse and the fever pa tient. The incident struck the sick men as very ludicrous, and they laughed heartily at it for some fifteen or twenty minutes. When the doctor came in the morning he ! found his patients vastly improved, said he never knew so sudden q turn for the better, and now both are up and well. Who says laugh | ter is not the best of medcinee And this reminds the writer of an other case. X gentleman was suff. ering from an ulceraii0n of the throat which at length became so swollen that his life was dispaired of. His household came to his bedside to bid him farewell. Each individual shook hands with the dying man and then went away
 weeping; last ofall came d petape, and sl,akiny the mans hand went 
 away with his hands over it's eyes.
 It was so ludicrous a sight that the
 patient was forced to laugh and laughed so heartily that the ulcer broke and hls life was saved d.-. Sanitarian.

The Best.

There is an advertisement ill the Examiner this week of remedy that is superior to all others, and as nearly all disease owes its ori- | igin 10 the impure condition of the blood, this is by far the best preparation ever offered to the trade. It purfies and enriches the blood, gives tone and energy to the system, builds up broken. down constitutions, and gives strength and energy to the feeble and debiitated. We refer to s. s. S., and will say that this notice is chcerfully given them, unsolicited on their part Abingdon (Na.) Ex- aminer.

 There is no longer any ground for heSitancy on the part of the reader. Swift's Specific reaches all diseases arising from an impure and vitiated condition of the blood. EXhauStibe tests have been made in this class of disease. lrrefragi. ble testimony from people of ali classes and walks of life, pro. fessional men, merchants, mechan- ics, and laborers, all agreeing m their verdict that Swift's Specific is sure cure for every disease that inheres in the blood.

Poultry Notes.

Lack of pure water may often account for the lack of eggs.
 Fowls should never be allowed in barns. stables or carriage house
 Hens will not lay if exposed to the euclemeneies of winter wealth CT.
 It is claimed that Wyandotte eggs average two ounces each lh weight.
 If cool ashes are placed in one corner of the fowl house they will bs eageraly used by the fowls to keep themselves free from vermin.
 There is more more profit in marketing fowls early than any other time. Prices are not only better, but there is a great saving in feed
 In 1876 we imported 4,903,71l dozens of eggs; in 1885, l6,09S,35O dozens. according to the bureau of statistics. Eggs are on the free list.
 Often sudden change from one kind of grain to another that has difl'ereht constituent properties may stop hens from laying q short time.
 ltis the appearance of goods that sells them. Nice, large, fat, plump, white turkeys, ducks, chicks or geese always bring out side prices.
 1t is estimated that 45,000,O00 eggs are consumed every day in the United States, and yet there are people who fear the poultry business will be overdone.

A Word for the Farmers.

Rev. Joseph Wheeler, in his ser. mon last Sunday morning, said, in substance, this: "Many tillers of the soil seem displeased with their occupation. They are not satis- fled with being simply farmer and are disposed to want d change in pursuit. But the farmer is the monarch of the land. He is freer, happier and better off in almost every way than those engaged in other pursuits. The merchant reaps the reward of his toil in sil, and gold, but these are not essen tial to the enjoyment Of human life. The farmer furnishes food for his neighbor and for the world, and there is in this thought a satisfac- ton that does not come from be. ing engaged in other occupations y Let those farmers who are dispos. ed to he dissatisfied from the lum- bleness of their lot, or from short crops. or other causes take courage and remember that they are indeed the "monarehs of the land,' and that to them the world owes liv. iug. There is no more independ. ent being on earth than an honest, systematic, industrious. frugal far. rnnr

About Seed Corn.

One ot the most successful corn raisers of Tennessee is credited with saying, in substance, that seed corn ought to be raised on rather thin land without the assistance of any kind of stimulating manure. His theory ii having proved it's truth in his case by personal ex- perience) that seed grown on such land when planted in rich soil, will insnrc by far a larger yield than seed from rich soil planted on rich soil again. He does not ex- plain the philosophy or science which brings about snch a result, only content to accept the proof
